  Hi there, I’m new to this and so this may be a basic question, but help would be appreciated.

  I would like to be able to create different pages on my site that are each their own individual blog.
  I.e. I can post to that page separately of the other pages.
  I would like to be able to do this because though my blog is overall about football, I’d like to be able to dedicate a page to European football, a page to A-League football and a page to Football Manager Live and other things.

  Is this possible beyond categorising each post to the relevant topic?
  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me!

  Cheers.

  That is what Categories & tags are for.

  so that your readers can find all of the same related articles.

  FAQ -> What’s a tag? How do I add tags to my posts? How do I manage tags? [screencast]

  FAQ -> Questions matching ‘Tags’

  Also by linking your name to your blog it will serve the purposes…
  If you need to ask a support question in the forum then it will make it easier for the volunteers to see what blogging platform your using & will aide them in giving you a more accurate answer to your issue.

  Oh, & it’s possible but would hurt you in the long
  run with the Google Juice.

  @teck07, what the OP is asking for is not actually possible at wordpress.com. He wants more than one dynamic blog page, which you can’t have.

  What you can do is use the categories feature and combine it with pages to achieve a similar effect. If you categorise all your football posts, you can then set up a page with the title ‘Football’ and a url that looks like http://YOURBLOG.wordpress.com/category/football/.

  So then people can click on the page links and be taken to the (dynamically updating) category pages.

  Category is all you’ve got here, as Rosclarke said. And it works effectively.

  I recommend people use categories, but some people want more separation and they often make separate blogs, linked on one Uber-blog. It depends how much separation you want.

  I recommend you go with the pro, Theythinkitsallover. Ms. Rain knows what’s best when it comes ro WordPress, I do confess.
